Somehow it seems pretty sloppy.<br /><br />I thought the photo looked familiar when I saw it on his 1970 card.<br /><br />Playoff/World Series stuff doesn't belong in an MVP write up for all the reasons you've mentioned before. But if Topps feels absolutely compelled to mention it, why couldn't it be "Bench's statistical awesomeness LED THE REDS to the World Series"? Or that, thanks to Bench, "...the Reds CAPTURED THE NL PENNANT". Why put a negative on a bullet list that's supposed to tell how great the player is.<br /><br />(Bench was always my favorite growing up, so maybe I'm a little protective.)<br /><br />Final note: I agree that cards need to have the position on the front. I could never include a position-less design in a list of great years for cards.Eggrockethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03543338186244288630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487834052004001845.post-17439856324644272392010-05-25T03:20:35.956-04:002010-05-25T03:20:35.956-04:00Those shady *&^%*(.
